Nishikant Dubey, a BJP Lok Sabha member, fired a new volley at TMC MP Mahua Moitra on Saturday, claiming that she was in India when her parliamentary ID was used in Dubai and that the National Informatics Centre (NIC) had submitted the information to inquiry authorities, news agency PTI reported. Taking to X (formerly known as Twitter), Dubey stated that "an MP pawned the country's security for some money." "The MP's ID was opened from Dubai when the so-called parliamentarian was in India. The entire Indian government, including the prime minister, finance department and central agencies, uses this NIC," the BJP MP said.


Without naming the agency, Dubey said: "Does the Trinamool Congress (TMC) and the opposition still have to do politics?. People will take a decision. The NIC has given this information to probe agency."






Dubey did not specifically identify Moitra in his tweet, but he has accused him of collecting money and favours in exchange for asking questions in Lok Sabha at the request of businessman Darshan Hiranandani in order to target the Adani Group and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.


The Lok Sabha's Ethics Committee is investigating Dubey's accusation and has summoned him on October 26 for "oral evidence."


Hiranandani admitted in a signed affidavit to the committee that he used Moitra's parliamentary login to ask questions about Adani after state-owned behemoth Indian Oil Corporation booked capacity at the Gujarat-based conglomerate's Dhamra LNG import facility in Odisha rather than his firm's planned facility.


Moitra, whose party has stayed silent on the matter, has remained aggressive and has continued to criticise Mr Dubey while rejecting the claims levelled against her.


Moitra said on Friday: "I welcome answering questions to CBI and Ethics Committee (which has absolute majority of BJP members) if and when they call me."


In response to the fresh allegations, Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra remarked on Saturday that the NIC should reveal information on all MPs' login access and verify their physical presence. Continuing her assault on the Adani group, she urged a CBI investigation into claims against the firm over coal imports.


NIC Should Release Details Of All MPs’ Login Locations: Moitra


In response, Moitra stated on X that unknown Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPI) having shares in the Adani group posed a greater national security risk than "an email ID that every PA & every unchecked intern team of every MP has publicly & accesses at will."


The Krishnanagar MP said that the CBI should first investigate the Adani group over coal price claims, and that she was not willing to accept a "deal" to "shut down for six months."


She stated that she received notification of an upcoming CBI raid. “I am busy with Durga Puja. I invite CBI to come home & count my pairs of shoes. But first please file FiR into Rs. 13,000 crore coal money Adani stole from Indians,” she was quoted by PTI in its report. 


In a series of posts on X, Moitra said, “Request NIC to please release all details of MPs publicly to show they were physically present in place from where IDs were accessed by their PAs & researchers/interns/staff.  Don’t use Fake Degree wala for leak, make this public NOW.”


“Unknown FPIs own Adani shares whose origin SEBI cannot find and Adani gets MHA clearance to buy Mumbai airport. This is the real question of National security. Not email ID that every PA & every unchecked intern team of every MP has publicly & accesses at will,” she said.
